Peggy's Garden - Cottage District, Buffalo NY

This was done in the Cottage District in Buffalo where GVPAP was having a joint paint-out with the Niagara Frontier Plein Air Painters. As I was walking down the street, looking for a spot to paint that caught my eye, a lady walked up to me and asked me if I was an artist and would I like to see her garden. I did, and followed her past several other tidy cottages and gardens until we came to hers. It was a lovely spot tucked behind 3 other houses and I never would have found it on my own. I am grateful that I was the artist she encountered. These are the kinds of wonderful experiences that I have when painting that keep me coming back for more.

Summer Sailing - Olcott

This painting was done at the family cottage of a friend of mine. She described it as a "piece of heaven" and it was obvious that it is a very special place to her. The color of the water near Olcott was such a beautiful green compared to the colors of Lake Ontario near Rochester which have a lot of violet and brown in it. It has an almost tropical feel. On display at Fairport Village Coffee June 3 - mid July.
